Question

If my employer did not include employer sponsored health coverage (Code DD) in box 12 of my corrected W-2, do I need a new corrected W-2

    Yes, you should ask for another corrected W-2.

     

    Why? Because at least one state (New Jersey comes to mind) treats health insurance premiums (this is what code DD is) differently than on the federal, so TurboTax needs to see this to make the correct entries on the New Jersey return.

     

    In most situations, it won't change your federal return, but since I don't know what state you are referring to, better safe than sorry.

    I am in Tennessee.  We do not have a state income tax.

    It would be good to get a corrected W-2, just for your records.  Did you have access to "employer sponsored health coverage"?

     

    Since you're in TN, a corrected W-2 is not necessary for tax purposes.
